1 2013 ANNUAL REPORT CEDAR CREEK SCHOOL from Head of School Andrew Yepson our message “ I t takes a big sacrifice to send your children to Cedar Creek School. We realize that many parents make education a priority and go without the nice vacation, the newest car, or restaurant meals to ensure their children get the right start in life. We also know it’s worth it. We can measure the return in real numbers – exceptional test scores, college admissions, and thousands of dollars in scholarships offered. We also have the stories of students getting the attention they need they wouldn’t get in another environment; of students being nurtured and feeling safe on our campus; and of students succeeding in their post-graduate experiences. Those stories are immeasurable and hard to put a dollar value on their impact. Thank you for sharing your praise and expressing your satisfaction with our school, which is reflected in increased enrollment and generous giving. We also are grateful for the countless hours of volunteering so many of our parents contribute towards improving the school. Without your support, so many improvements would not happen. As you may already know, tuition does not cover the cost of running the school. Critical projects get done because many realize we must supplement the budget with funds other than tuition. Some have asked for 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Some have asked for more information about how the money you donate is spent. This Annual Report is designed to answer those questions. We want you to know exactly where your dollars are going. more information about how the money you donate is spent. This Annual Report is designed to answer those questions. We want you to know exactly where your dollars are going. Please know that we have in place numerous checks and balances to ensure that we are being good stewards of your money. We also continuously evaluate our needs and your ideas and concerns to make sure the school is following a sound strategic plan. Remember, we value your input, and we want to continue to hear from you. Our thorough communication plan has as one of its goals to ensure our constituents – parents, students, faculty and staff, community members, grandparents – have all the information they need to continue their trusted support of our school. Again, we thank you for the sacrifices you’re making and your continued support to ensure your child is on the road to success at Cedar Creek School. CEDAR CREEK SCHOOL 2 our board of directors What an exciting time to be a part of Cedar Creek! Its Board of Directors has been working hard with the administration to ensure the school is growing and meeting the needs of its student body as we continue to fulfill the mission. One of our main focuses is technology. With rapid changes in this arena, it has been a goal of the Board to help ensure our students are ready for their post-secondary paths. Colleges and universities across the nation as well as employers across the spectrum are expecting our students to not only pos- sess traditional skills, but to master the latest technology at the same time. Our iPad program supports this mission. We’ve been able to make significant improvements to the physical plant as well, thanks to the generosity of the Cedar Creek family. These changes are taking place while we continue to grow in student population and maintain our superior college-preparatory education. Our welltrained, caring and experienced faculty is rising to the occasion of meeting the multiple needs of today’s students. The Board also realizes that it is criti- cal to remember the school’s roots and our obligation to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all our students, even in these fast-paced times. It is also critical to remember that we are a school steeped in Christian traditions that translates to an education embracing all the gifts our children possess. The Board looks forward to a dynamic period for the school and working with the administration, faculty, staff and parents to continue to build our legacy of excellence.

Through Cougar Gear sales, various fall fundraisers, Box Tops and Holidays in Cedartown, we were able to raise more than $47,000 after paying all of our bills! Ten percent was donated to the Endowment Fund, and more than $26,000 has been dedicated toward new steel doors for the main 3 high school and elementary buildings. The new doors will provide much better energy efficiency and also contribute to our school’s overall security and safety of students. Parent Club is also active throughout the school year with projects that support our teachers, including • Recognition of faculty and staff birthdays • Adopt-a-Teacher • Teacher Christmas reception and Christmas bonus • Teacher Appreciation Month and luncheon We want every Cedar Creek parent to get involved with Parent Club! It is a great way to get to know faculty members, other parents, and students and make the Cedar Creek community even stronger while playing a role in your child’s education.
